The Philadelphia (PA) Chapter of The Links, Incorporated, invites artists to submit original work for Emerald Renaissance: Celebrating 80 Years of Exhibiting Excellence, a juried fine art exhibition marking the organization’s 80th anniversary.
For eight decades, The Links, Incorporated, has advanced the ideals of friendship and service, through the arts, education, and cultural leadership -- strengthening communities locally and internationally. This exhibition celebrates that legacy by featuring work that speaks to culture, history, connection, and shared responsibility.
Artists at all career stages - emerging, mid career, and established artists are encouraged to apply.
Exhibition Theme: Emerald Renaissance
Emerald Renaissance celebrates creativity as a catalyst for connection, leadership, and community impact. Drawing on the legacy of The Links, Incorporated, the exhibition invites artists to consider how Black women - through friendship and service-have used the arts, education, and cultural leadership to uplift communities across generations and beyond geographic boundaries.
The exhibition explores how art:
• Strengthens relationships and shared purpose
• Reflects cultural leadership and creative legacy
• Supports education, service, and community growth
• Connects past, present, and future through collective care
Entry Fee: $25 fee per (1) piece - ENTRY FEES ARE NON REFUNDABLE
Artists are encouraged to interpret the theme broadly through personal, cultural, historical, or contemporary perspectives.
